Will Grayson, Will Grayson Chapter 4 Summary

will grayson

  • will is at work at CVS when Maura stops by. He's stocking shelves when she decides to ask him if he's gay.
  • He's pretty annoyed because he does not want to discuss this with Maura. Sure, if will told her the truth she would stop flirting with him, but he also doesn't want to turn into her gay best friend either. So he tries to change the subject.
  • But Maura's not having it, so finally will tells her that she shouldn't call him gay just because he doesn't want to have sex with her; not every guy in the world wants to sleep with her. She's pretty hurt and storms out of the CVS.
  • After work, will heads home. Isaac's not online, so he sits and watches Pride and Prejudice on TV with his mom. He keeps ignoring his incoming calls, too, and then the doorbell rings. It's Maura.
  • She needs to talk, so will takes her out to the garage and she unloads on him. Why won't he tell her that he's gay? And who is this Isaac person?
  • Wait… what?
  • Maura says she saw Isaac's name in will's little notebook doodles. She's kind of famous for snooping into will's things.
  • will thinks fast and tells Maura that Isaac is just some character he made up; she seems to buy it and makes dreamy eyes at will. During this entire conversation, will hasn't actually said he's not gay—he's just dodged Maura's question—but apparently she's back to pining for him. Ugh.
  • Inside the house, will's mom turns off the TV and they talk for a few minutes. Mom really thinks she needs to get a life instead of spending all her Saturday nights home alone pining for Mr. Darcy to come sweep her off her feet.
  • will kind of agrees, but tells her he'll let her know if he sees any cute guys on horseback wearing waistcoats or something.
  • Back in his room, will has a message from Isaac. They start talking about their days and will is instantly relieved. The conversation slowly turns to sexy talk…
  • Isaac and will do this sometimes. Mostly they just joke around and say the kind of corny stuff you might read in a romance novel, but tonight they're honest with each other. Isaac just wants to hold will in his arms and be totally at peace.
  • Then Isaac suggests the very thing that will wants the most—that they should meet. How about Friday? That's only six days away.
  • will is over-the-moon happy. Isaac is the one person in the entire world whom he wants to share everything with. That has to mean something, doesn't it?
